Hey everyone!!! How is your TWENTY TEN going so far? I am loving it, and being at home is soooo fun therefore my lack of blogging!!! So much to be done before I am on the jet plane back to the Middle East later in the week. Kinda bittersweet. I am looking forward to seeing the furry family and my friends, but it has been SOOOO good being home. I have even fallen in love with some oceanside property here, and coincidentally, mum and dad are moving up to that part of town in the near future so who knows what could lay in store. Also one of my favourite cafes The Flower Market and Cafe in Paddington is no longer there and the space is open for lease….hmmmm I am getting some crazy ideas of a Vegan Cafe and Juice Bar. Anyone out there with a bit of pocket change and want to invest in my dream? 
I have much to update you with INCLUDING a fantastic AUSSIE INSPIRED GIVEAWAY!!!! So stay tuned for that one later today when I post details on how to enter and what the prizes are which include:
- Fermented Paw Paw Ointment (made right here in Queensland!)
- a Julienne vegetable peeler (featured on my video post here on Raw on the Road and the purchase was inspired by two of my favourite twinnies Lori and Michelle here – apart from my twin goddaughters of course that I get to meet in the flesh for the first time tonight!!!!)
- And more!
Here’s a slight recap of some things I’ve been up to over the last few days:
Checking out the kiteboarders at the end of the street of my parents new place at Scarborough – although the sky shows otherwise, it’s still been stinking hot here!
Eating plenty of berries for breakfast
Green Juice! The whole family are onto it!
Mum and Dad showing off their extra large shower in their new home!
Dinner and drinks with friends at Cloudland in the Valley
Greek salad with no feta but extra avocado at The Coffee Club, Redcliffe
Making raw chocolate pudding for the family
And eating it myself!
More kitesurfers at Redcliffe.
And darkening my blonde locks (and having coffee with my mum)!!! I’ve been wanting to slowly get back to my natural colour and it’s a work in progress.
I’ll be back later with more details of the upcoming giveaway. Stay tuned!
You are look great with darker hair! Leaving the blond world is sad though
hehe..
I hope us lovely canadians get to enter your lovely contest!!!!!!!!
Also if you opened a cafe in Aussieland, I’d be sure to make a trip… I’ve always wanted to go there!
Wahoo! One of my first customers!
Hi Robyn,
Looks like you are having a fantastic time! I am very interested to learn what this Paw Paw ointment is all about (and I will resist checking Google so that I will be surprised when you blog about it!). Those blueberries look sooooo good – I miss them so much – do you get them in Saudi at all? I am guessing not! I know Organic Foods & Cafe had some frozen ones…
The photo of your parents in the shower was so funny! They look so young! Now we know your good genes come from both sides of your family! I also love your newly darkened hair.
Hope you enjoy the rest of your trip (and find a big, fat business loan!),
Jennifer
Love the post. Your hair look great! See you when you get back.
Hi Robyn, it is great to see what you’ve been up to while you’re down under! Happy New Year!
Like the dark-er hair!!
I am a brunette so I am partial! 
Happy New Year!!!!
We wish we could help invest in your dream of a juice bar….that is one of our dreams as well!!
Luv the pic of your parents in the shower, too cute ; )
Thanks for the shout out and glad we inspire….good luck with your giveaway!
Love the new hair, looks like you’re having a blast. I grew up at Redcliffe!! So weird to see it on the blogosphere! Did you grow up/go to school there?
ooh no I didn’t even grow up there, but my parents are moving there VERY soon!!! I love Redcliffe.
Your hair looks BEAUTIFUL! Looks like you have been having a blast so far this year. Chocolate pudding doesn’t hurt either!
Have an awesome weekend.
So glad you’re enjoying your time at home! And your parents are so YOUNG! They look like fun parents to have
Your hair looks great and you are a GORGEOUS brunette. Gorgeous new hair color is a nice way to start the new year!
Your choc pudding looks scrumptious, ooh la la…
Happy new year Robyn!
Your parents are so cute and look so young!!! I love the new darker hair! Mine is so annoying right now. I really want to get bangs. I think I’m going to do it, I had 25 comments on the post I did yesterday saying I should!!! What do you think?
Also, I miss you!
And have the greatest time meeting your Goddaughters!!! I hope it was amazing!!!
XOXO,
Erin
